Apple's iOS 6.11 networking failures continue

Summary:While Apple's iOS 6.11's 3G problem has been fixed, and there are workarounds for the Exchange problem, other headaches -- such as an inability to make Wi-Fi connections -- persist. And the iPhone's security remains utterly compromised.

According to Microsoft, the first thing an Apple user should try is to stop using Exchange to update their calenders. If that doesn't work, Microsoft suggests that users work with their Exchange administrator to uninstall and re-install their Exchange account. If that doesn't help, Exchange sysops are encouraged to first throttle iPhone and iPad users' access to Exchange and, as a last resort, to block iOS 6.1 users from Exchange.

Last, and most damaging, the iOS 6.1x lock-screen security snafu is still with us. With this problem, anyone who knows the trick can bypass your iOS 6.1-powered iPhone password and gain complete access and total control of your iPhone.
